About Mr. Stephen H. Gordon

I am here to help my clients get through their legal troubles in their time of crisis. In doing so, I take the time to carefully listen to what the client wants and needs. Then I explain all their legal options to them in clear, simple, and easy to understand terms. Finally, I fight hard to get them the best possible outcome I can under their particular circumstances. I try to perform all these services at a reasonable price, and offer payment plans on most cases. I always offer a free phone consultation as well. That way my clients can immediately get a sense of what needs to be done in their case without having to make an appointment and come into my office just to get a simple question answered. If I cannot handle a particular case, I will generally be able to refer the client to another attorney who can help them out with their problem. The Gordon Law Firm, P.C. - We are Fighting for Freedom & Justice!

Hired Attorney Mr. Stephen H. Gordon

I had hired Mr. Gordon some years ago to help with some traffic tickets turned warrants and he had helped me through those. When I recently had a contested case in which I was lied to by the opposing lawyer and a protective order, although incredibly unjustified and perjured by the opposing party, went through. I call Mr. Gordon asking for a good referral and he explained he not only did criminal defense cases but that most of his cases were contested and family law cases. He explained to me in easy to understand language what choices I had. He gave me realistic answers and possible outcomes. He was incredibly professional and extremely thorough. He thought of everything and asked lots of questions. Well Covid-19 happened, slowing the court system down but it didnt stop Mr. Gordon from continuing to contest and stop the injustice that had happened. He was even so thorough as to explain to the mediator everything going on with my side of the case. But what I liked most is his integrity

 
Response from Mr. Stephen H. Gordon
Thanks so much for the positive feedback! I am glad that you appreciate the work we put into getting you a good result in your case.

Mr Gordon expertly handled our grandchildren joint custody case in a highly professional and pragmatic way. He listened to our issues and found a way to ensure our grandchildren are properly cared for. He executed the case in a proficient manner that did not break the bank. My wife and I are grateful for his handling of our case.

These FAQs include information about a lawyer's background, but do not evaluate their knowledge of the law, past performance on individual cases, personality, or communication skills.

It is solely the responsibility of lawyers and law firms to ensure that any information they provide complies with all applicable laws and rules of professional conduct.

You should be aware that the information we rely upon may not be comprehensive, or frequently updated.

Always research the lawyer further to get a better understanding of their license credentials, disciplinary status, background, and experience.

Lawyers.com Client Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Client Review Ratings™ display reviews submitted by individuals who have either hired or consulted the lawyers or law firms.

The Client Review Rating score is determined through the aggregation of validated responses. People who submit reviews are either individuals who consulted with the lawyer/law firm or who hired the lawyer/law firm and want to share their experience of that lawyer or law firm with other potential clients. Reviewers can be anyone who consults or hires a lawyer including in-house counsel, corporate executives, small business owners, and private individuals.

Martindale-Hubbell validates that a reviewer is a person with a valid email address. As part of the review process, respondents must affirm that they have had an initial consultation, are currently a client or have been a client of the lawyer or law firm identified, although Martindale-Hubbell cannot confirm the lawyer/client relationship as it is often confidential. The content of the responses is entirely from reviewers.

Prior results do not guarantee a similar outcome and Martindale-Hubbell accepts no responsibility for the content or accuracy of any review. For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Client Review Ratings, please visit our Client Review Page

Martindale Peer Reviews

Martindale-Hubbell® Peer Review Ratings™ are the gold standard in attorney ratings, and have been for more than a century. These ratings indicate attorneys who are widely respected by their peers for their ethical standards and legal expertise in a specific area of practice.

The Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings process is the gold standard due to its objectivity and comprehensiveness. Lawyers solicited for peer reviews include both those selected by the attorney being reviewed and lawyers independently selected by Martindale-Hubbell. All reviewers are verified as attorneys through Martindale-Hubbell’s extensive attorney database. Only attorneys practicing at least three years and receiving a sufficient number of reviews from non-affiliated attorneys are eligible to receive a Rating.

What are the different Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings?*

• AV Preeminent®: The highest peer rating standard. This rating signifies that a large number of the lawyer’s peers rank him or her at the highest level of professional excellence for their legal knowledge, communication skills and ethical standards.

• Distinguished: An excellent rating for a lawyer with some experience. This rating indicates the attorney is widely respected by their peers for high professional achievement and ethical standards.

• Notable: This rating indicates that the lawyer has been recognized by a large number of their peers for strong ethical standards.

Lawyers who have received peer reviews after 2009 will display more detailed information, including practice areas, summary ratings, detailed numeric ratings and written feedback (if available). Details for individual reviews received before 2009 are not displayed.

Attorneys that receive reviews from their peers, but not a sufficient number to establish a Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Rating, will have those reviews display on our websites.

For more information on Martindale-Hubbell Peer Review Ratings™, please visit our Ratings Page on Martindale.com and our Frequently Asked Questions

Avvo Client Reviews
